As Dortmund inch closer every week to retaining their Bundesliga title, few would blame Klopp for occasionally thinking about what next season has in store.

With Götze being sidelined with injury for much of this current season, Kevin Großkreutz, Jakub Błaszczykowski and Shinji Kagawa have all been playing fantastically, and all have contributed to Dortmund’s current league position.

With Götze due back from injury soon and Marco Reus arriving in the summer, Klopp is going to have more attacking flair than he can shake a stick at.

But for now, the news that Götze will not be going anywhere this summer will be welcomed by manager, teammates and fans alike.

And the player himself?

He said that he feels comfortable at Dortmund, where he has been since he was eight years old, and told the club's official website that he “wants to be a part of this development process” at the club.

If winning the Bundesliga title last season and looking on course to retain it this year is a “development process,” who knows what the club could go on to achieve?
